SOLD

London Jazz Quartet / The Night Timers Label: W&G. Disc: EX Cover: VG

This is actually the very rare UK jazz album by the London Jazz Quartet that was originally issued on Tempo. It features different artwork and has been retitled for this dodgy looking Australian release. I’ve never come across another copy of this. Disc is clean, fragile cover has wear to the seams and light ring wear on reverse.

Superb copy of this classic French jazz scat LP. The Mercury international reissue of the French original (Archi-cordes) that was issued on Philips. I haven’t had one of these for a while so it was a treat to give it a spin! Australian press.

Don’t let the 1980 date or the soft focus photo on the cover put you off as this is a great record. Very strange yet phenomenal version of Love Supreme. I actually prefer her vocal style on these later albums. Swedish original press.

Arena – ArenaLabel: Crystal Clear Disc: EX Cover: EX (Small Sticker)

Renowned Australian private press. Tight Jazz funk. Rarely turns up for sale. Nice to have this rarity back in stock. NB This is a Stock image, the copy for sale has small sticker on front.

Fantastic compilation of Australian jazz from the mid 60s. Mainly for the brilliant 12 minute piece ‘Conjur Man’ by the John Sangster Octet. A phenomenal recording displaying Sangster’s interest in outsider jazz. Possibly recorded after his experiences with Sun Ra in NY. It also features the great Don Burrows track ‘Lonely Girl’, which was the precursor to the 2000 Weeks OST. In addition it includes some rare Judy Bailey & Bernie McGann compositions. A great showcase of what was happening in Australian jazz during the 60s. I reckon it even beats Eastern Horizons and other big Australian jazz LPs. Rare! SOLD

Top shelf Australian progressive jazz LP that never turns up. Even here in Melbourne in which it was recorded. The whole LP is great although the standout it the What’s going on/The Ghetto medley. Superb Australian record!

Australian version of the ‘Let It Live’ LP. This version was a souvenir item for Pope John Paul II 1986 visit to Australia. Arranged and conducted by Francy Boland and Lalo Schifrin and featuring loads of jazzmen, Sahib Shihab, Sante Palumbo, Gianni Basso, Art Farmer, Tony Coe etc etc..The track Mystery of Man was compiled but the whole record is fantastic deep and spiritual jazz. Comes with large booklet.

Highly sort after Australian Jazz funk issued privately in Melbourne. Includes the famous tune The Long One which was compiled on Ubiquity’s Heading in the Right Direction. Could be described as the Australian Placebo. Great copy. Very Rare.

Great group featuring bona fide legends of the experimental / free jazz universe. Sharp, abrasive and totally mind-blowing. On the Ictus label.

Jim Minchin / Move To Mix Label: Move. Disc: VG+ Cover: VG+

Rare religious Jazz from Melbourne. Jim Minchin was a jazzy priest who cut two records for the Move label in the late 60s. While his second LP takes a pop-folk direction this hard to find debut is great Xian workshop jazz. Includes the awesome, A Hymne to God Thy Father. This never turns up!

Rare Australian press of this important Lansdowne session. Classic UK jazz. This copy is a bit rough but we thought someone might like a cheaper copy. Some ring wear and foxing to the 60s flipback cover. Two inch split at bottom opening. The disc plays well with only minimal noise but does have a fair amount of hairlines. No deep scratches. Plays close to VG+ for the majority. Essential jazz!!

SOLD

Jazz Co-Op / Jazz Co-OpLabel: Philips. Disc: EX Cover: EX

Another copy. Milestone Australian jazz recorded in a workshop environment. Explorations into modernist and experimental jazz. The funk tune Pyramid Piece was comped but the whole double album is a very solid session. There’s a small sticker on the cover that could be removed with patience.
